Absolutely a good thing! Anything to keep this in front of the people. Even if it's just Tri's incessant garbage that has helped keep this thread pegged at the top of the most viewed forum for the past couple weeks. Thanks Tri!!

Joe, as you can see, your flower-power model of kindness was thrown out the window years ago. Public resource is under attack, the American hunting model is under attack and you want one of the most informed and articulate counter voices to just smile and be nice? Are you kidding?!? Do you...

Impressive! So glad to have a group that is out front in protecting our western hunting heritage! Meanwhile, while not contributing a dime to this scam this weekend, my son and I was going through the Utah odds/application for what should be his first Utah deer hunt (12 years old). Thanks to...

>I think most sportsmen are perfectly >fine with the process I think most sportsmen don't know what they don't know. There are a few thousand guys at most that have followed this closely enough to know what a raw deal the citizens of Utah are getting. Of those couple thousand or so that...

Solid reporting. I would have liked to have seen it more clearly stated that the DWR out-rightly accepted a substantially lower SFW bid for the 2017-2021 exp. That's a fact, as was everything else reported. Glad someone finally put this out in front of eyes other than ours. It needs to go to a...

Stay away from the established trails and easy ridge tops. I don't know what else to tell you. You've already got it figured out, you just need to put it in practice now. You're on the right track. Certainly archery has less pressure, but it doesn't take much in those tight little basins to...

Whether they'd admit it or not, I would wager that 95% of western hunters use radios in ANY way that best benefits them. I'd suppose the P&Y and B&C stipulations are what drives the perception and openness into the shadows, even though its entirely legal. No one wants to be seen picking their...

How's your son Cain doing? I'd heard him and Able had a little falling out awhile back. Hope the rest of the family is good. Congrats on the new addition! Really though, very cool, congrats! Not many get to see their posterity across 6 generations. Pretty amazing really.

Yep, nailed it! How the herds and ratios are doing can be debated either way. This is pure marketing and that can't be debated.

Nearly all trekking poles are adjustable so you can find the length that works best for you. Generally, a 90 degree angle at the elbow is a good starting point.

You could spend $200+ on the best-of-the-best, or like about anything, you can find a good mid-rage comparable for a whole lot less. I've got a lower end pair of aluminum Black Diamonds. But if I was in the market I'd probably get these...

Eel, tell me about making salami. Did you buy a starter? Have you made it before? Good dry salami it hard to beat, but the whole curing thing makes me a little uneasy.

I always thought they were for yuppies. I didn't own any spandex so why would I need trekking poles either. I now take them every time... but still don't own any spandex.

Give up the shakin' babies gig. You need to be a writer. This made my afternoon!

Founder, I have the same mental tick. Somethings like that just drive me crazy enough that it can really bug me through the whole movie. I just saw a show a couple weeks ago on netflix, can't even remember the name. They were hunting deer in the upper northwest. The hunter was packing a double...
